Chapter 106 New Era No. 35: Two People

 Concepcion.

After learning that Lima in the port of Talcavano and the combined fleet of Valparaiso was destroyed, he followed the Santiago brigade to participate in the attack on the city of Concepción and regretted it.

He is O'Higgins' secretary, who almost everyone in the entire Chilean governor's jurisdiction knows that he is the deputy governor of Chile.

Although he is only twenty-four years old this year.

In order to clear the suspicion, Rosas was willing to risk coming with the San Diego brigade, but now he is in a state of confusion.

The commander of the Santiago Brigade was a little nobleman from the Madrid region named Alonso. Although he surrounded the city of Concepción, he still received the unfortunate news before he could launch an offensive.

As an empire in the Age of Discovery, the Spaniards had long built a road connecting Chile's north and south, but since it was an empire in the Age of Discovery, using sea routes was naturally a realistic choice. So, at the moment of receiving the news, he fell into confusion.

There are not a single encounter in the world where the British have done it many times, but if they landed in a very quick time after destroying the fleet, they would not even be able to do it.

Although Talcavano Harbour City is just a small city, it is also full of artillery fire. The British would not be able to complete the landing without three days. Moreover, it is in the roaring westerly belt, and it is not easy for a ship to stabilize its body shape. In that case, it will not be easy to quickly suppress the shore artillery.

But the Truchens were able to do it as soon as they met. Not only that, their army was coming quickly!

Unlike the Truchens, who had a specialized in carrying horses, the Spaniards wanted to come here by boat, but in a fast manner, they obviously could not carry horses. Therefore, Alonso's brigade was all infantry!

"Col. I'm going to the bathroom"

When Rosas saw Alonso's panic look, he knew that the situation was going to go, so he wanted to find an opportunity to escape, but he was obviously seen through by Alonso, so he flatly rejected his request.

Although Alonso was also a rigorous soldier and set up a simple blocking position under the city of Concepción to defend against the possible arrival of Truchens, he did not expect that they would come from the direction of Talkavano.

Although the estuary of the Biobio River at this time was somewhat silted, it was obviously not as serious as later generations. At least there was a depth of about ten meters near the city of Concepción, but this information was obviously not mastered by Adil.

So Alonso put the defense line completely towards the Biobio River, and there was almost no defense in the northwest, that is, in the direction of Talkavano.

"The Truqin Army is only five miles away!"

With the continuous reports from investigators, Alonso's mood became increasingly nervous.

He had participated in the last Portuguese succession battle and had a deep understanding of the combat power of the Truchens. After a while, he issued the wisest order that was probably his life.

“Retreat!”

Five miles can spare him at least half an hour to an hour of retreat time.

The Santiago Brigade was about to retreat before it even launched an offensive, which naturally caused dissatisfaction among Alonso's soldiers. Although they knew the power of the Truchens, they were all locals in Chileans and had not experienced the battle with the Truchens.

However, Alonso's order was unquestionable. Soon, a brigade drove to the west mountain road - Alonso was preparing to retreat to the plateau between the hills and the Andes near the west coast. He obviously knew that if he walked along the coastal road, he would not be able to make any mistakes.

On the plateau flats, there is a better road to Santiago, and there are also a large number of castles for him to make a move.

Before he could go far, a team appeared in front of him!

Although he is dressed in a Spanish costume, he is obviously an Araucan, and the leader is Laricio, the current leader of the Laurota organization!

Since Larisio is a supporter of OHiggins, he has no chance to station near the heavily defended San Diego City, because they all come from the wet areas in the south and can only rely on OHiggins' son Okon nearby.

Larisio had long wanted to send a support to Ocon, but he had only 300 cavalry under his command. It was not enough to face the regular Spanish troops who had been equipped with flintlock guns.

However, Laricio, who had many eyes and ears, also received news that the Truchens arrived and landed in Port Talcavano. As a native, he was still a native of the West Coast, obviously he would not know anything Truchen, but he still understood the truth that the enemy was a friend.

So he led three hundred tall and strong Araucan cavalry to ride all Andalusian horses to block Alonso's way!

Just when the Spanish army was in chaos, Rosas slipped away.

Alonso was not panicked after receiving the news that the Araucan people were blocking the road. At this time, they were less than a quarter of an hour before they left the city of Concepción. According to common sense, Yang Yuchun's army had not arrived yet.

"What are you panic!"

He yelled at the leader of the group that opened the way.

"The mountain road is narrow, and a volley of flintlock guns can scare away the Arakans' war horses!"

It is strange that although the Truchens invented the post-mounted flintlock rifle borrowed the principle of the Fran machine gun, it was an epoch-making gun after all. It was estimated that there was not much local equipment in Spain at this time. Unexpectedly, the Chilean governor's jurisdiction in a corner had all been equipped first.

If Carlos III had known this news, he would probably die of vomiting blood.

The flintlock rifle was installed afterwards. The Truchens used the principle that the Fran machine could quickly replace the sub-gun, and changed the entire firing part of the gun from a few kilograms to a paper tube.

This paper barrel is rolled out of extremely thin, flammable paper, with inducing drugs at the bottom, inducing drugs in the middle, and projectiles at the top. You should know that there are a large number of paper-making forests in the south of Chile, and Port Monte is also a paper-making base in the jurisdiction of the Chilean governor.

Although the Spanish papermaking technology is still very primitive and can only use bark to make paper, it is still possible to choose a part of it as a paper tube with a flintlock rifle afterwards.

The paper tube is filled with small wooden tubes. When using it, you can open the magazine by pulling a device, and then pouring the paper tube ammunition in the small wooden tube into it. The next operation is no different from that of an ordinary flintlock rifle.

But that speed is a little faster than the flintlock rifle.

Sure enough, Laricio's hesitation gave Alonso a chance. When rows of fast and dense flintlock lead shots were shot at them, the Araucan people who had just entered the cavalry era could not hold on anymore. Although the Andalusian horses were war horses, they also needed someone to train.

The Arakans' training was not yet up to date. After the three volleys, they couldn't hold on and turned their horses to run back!

However, their appearance did Yang Yuchun a favor.

It took about fifteen minutes for the Spaniards to go from line to volley, and with a fake chasing of the Araucan people!

At this moment, Yang Yuchun arrived first with a cavalry battalion!

Not only that, as he once fought in the mountains and mountains in western Sichuan and eastern Sichuan and western Hubei, he had rich experience in mountain jungle combat. While he arrived first with the cavalry battalion, the other two infantry battalions also surrounded the mountains on both sides of the road at a rapid march.

It is not that easy for the Araucan people who are blocking the road ahead to escape quickly. After all, the road is rugged and narrow, and even if they ride a tall horse, they can't get up.
